THE BLOOMFIELD DEMOCRAT, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, May 31, 1900,
Volume XXXII, Number 13, Page 3, Columns 4 & 5, “Obituary.” [Transcribed 28 Mar 2002
from Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library’s IHS Microfilm Records.]
With sorrowing hearts we record the sad story of the death of Cecil HAYS, which occurred
on last Friday, May 25, after a short illness. He was taken violently sick while at work
on Monday with his stepfather, Mr. Hugh MCGINNIS, and in four days was dead. He was the
only son of Andrew HAYS of Taylor Township, who died about seven years ago, and who was
well known and respected in this locality.
Cecil was past 20 years of age, was a congenial friend, and obedient and dutiful son, a
loving and affectionate brother, a bright, cheerful and pleasant associate, whose pleasant
smile and happy disposition was an inspiration to all who met and knew him. But to him,
as well as to all of us, there came the time when the tender care of a loving mother, nor
the fond caress of an affectionate sister, nor the kindness of friends and associates,
could save him from death. God called and he answered the summons. How sad to be taken
so suddenly and so early in life. Let us who are left to mourn this loss learn from this
the importance of so living that we may be ready to answer the summons whenever it may
come.
